Heart Shaped Box is a song written by Kurt Cobain and performed by Nirvana. This song is a part of their third studio album, In Utero. The album was released in September 1993.

"Heart-Shaped Box" reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. It was the first single from the album. However, the song has been the subject of much debate, particularly the lyrics.

The song's lyrics are ambiguous, and they are hard to interpret. Many people have speculated that the song's meaning is related to Cobain's fractious relationship with his wife Courtney Love.

Kurt Cobain is known for his ambiguous songwriting. For example, his classic Kiss song contains a line about female reproductive organs. He also spoke out on issues pertaining to feminism.

Although the song has been interpreted in many ways, there are two main theories that have been put forth. One theory claims that the song is about the relationship between a man and a woman, and the other says that the song was inspired by a specific news report.

Courtney Love gave her own interpretation of the song, saying that it was written about her and her body. Her explanation was supported by tweets sent by Love, which are full of vigilance and adoration.

Nirvana's Heart-Shaped Box was a huge hit, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart. But it has received varying interpretations, and there are a variety of reasons for the ambiguousness of the lyrics.
